✷ Caution ✷

Modification of any factory supplied item may result in the denial of all warranty claims. Call Equalizer Systems Technical Support prior to any modifications

With any hydraulic application, holding position on a cylinder must be done with safety in mind. Failure in the system may cause the jacks to retract or extend suddenly. When working under or near the coach, always use jack stands of appropriate rating to support the weight of the coach.

Installation Step 1: Determine where the jacks will be mounted. The jacks must be mounted to the chassis

frame, as close as possible to the front and rear axles.

Step 2 (Jacks): Secure the jack brackets in place with c-clamps and weld the brackets to the frame. Bolt the jack to the bracket using washers on the bolt head and the nut. The jacks must be installed with a minimum of 7 to 8 inches of ground clearance. See Installation chart below. In any case, the bottom of the footpad should be no lower than any other item mounted on the coach. Pay attention to the angle of departure for the chassis when mounting the rear jacks- and the angle of approach when mounting the front jacks.

Reference Chart for Installing Jack Legs The foot / pad must be mounted with-in the range suggested (see chart below) for proper operation of the system. Retract the jack leg fully (jack leg up); Ground clearance is determined by measuring from the bottom of the jack foot to the ground (jack retracted fully). When in doubt call Equalizer Systems 1-800-846-9659. Note: failure to follow recommended ground clearances may result in improper or failure to level vehicle. If vehicle has air suspension to be deflated prior to leveling, then the recommendations may be slightly less than stated. Check wit Equalizer systems engineering for further info.

SL-15 = 8 - 10 inches of ground clearance SL-16 = 8 - 10 inches of ground clearance SL / DP-18 = 10 – 12 inches of ground clearance AJ / AM / CT / SM -16, 20, 24, 30, 36 Jack travel (stroke) 16” = 8 - 10inches of ground clearance 20” = 12 - 14 inches of ground clearance 24” = 14 - 16 inches of ground clearance 30” = 16 - 18 inches of ground clearance 36” = 18 - 20 inches of ground clearance

Pump

Install the pump kit on the coach. The pump must be mounted in a location that is reasonable to route the hydraulic hoses to the manifold. It must be accessible for filling the reservoir and monitoring the fill level. The cartridge valves and the end of the motor must be accessible to manual override the system (see instructions for manual override). See the drawings for attachment of the pump mount bracket.

Fittings

Install the hydraulic adaptor fittings in the top and bottom of each jack and install the fittings into the manifold. The straight thread O-ring side always goes to the cylinder or manifold. The tapered side will get the hose attached to it. When installing straight fittings into the leg or manifold, tighten to 15 lbs.-ft. When using 90-degree fittings, turn until finger tight, position correctly, then tighten the jam nut to 15 lbs.-ft.

Hose

Install the hydraulic hoses according to the chart below. Route the hoses clear of all hot exhaust components

and pinch points in the suspension/chassis system. Attach the hoses to the manifold and jack fittings (from

step 4). Tighten to 15 lbs.-ft. Secure the hydraulic hoses with wire ties or loom clamps to the chassis. Care

should be taken to not kink or twist hoses. The minimum bend radius is 6 inches.

Installation of Hoses to the Manifold:

Jack Leg Manifold Connection

Left Front – Top Brown Solid (T-1) Left Front – Bottom Brown Stripe (B-1) Right Front – Top White Solid (T-2) Right Front – Bottom White Stripe (B-2) Left Rear – Top Orange Solid (T-3) Left Rear – Bottom Orange Stripe (B-3) Right Rear – Top Yellow Solid (T-4) Right Rear – Bottom Yellow Stripe (B-4)

Wire harness

Route the wire harness form the pump assembly to the area where the control panel is to be mounted. The harness needs to be routed away from moving objects, sharp edges and high heat sources. Use wire ties and or loom clamps to secure in place. The end with the 9 pin and 2 pin connector goes to the pump assembly. See the drawing for the lay out. Connect the harness connectors to the matching connectors at the pump assembly.

Uni-Directional Motor Pump #1551, 3218

Power Connections: Attach a # 4-gauge wire (# 2 gauge if the run is over 12ft.) between the positive +12v terminal on the battery and the battery post at the motor solenoid on the pump. This solenoid post will generally have a yellow fused wire attached to it that supplies power to the controller. This battery connection may be fused at the source with a 150-amp circuit breaker. This +12v supply must be a dedicated and isolated circuit (not shared with other devices), and must be constant, non-switched +12v.

Attach a # 4 gauge wire (# 2 gauge if the run is over 12ft.) between the negative -12v terminal on the battery and the

ground stud on the pump. This is the preferred method of grounding. The pump motor will “self” ground through its

mounting if it is mounted to a frame structure or metal mounting bracket that is welded or bolted securely to the frame. If

grounding the pump to the frame or bracket the connection must be sound, free of paint and not susceptible to corrosion.

The battery connection to the frame must also be of 4 gauge or larger cable.

Bi-Rotational Motor Pump #’s 2390, 2532, 2542, 3043, 3195, 3195KS, 2542KS

Power Connections: Pump #2390, 2532, 2542: Attach a # 4-gauge wire (# 2 gauge if the run is over 12ft.) between the positive +12v terminal on the battery and the common posts on the motor solenoid. This supply may be fused at the source with a 150-amp circuit breaker. This +12v supply must be a dedicated and isolated circuit (not shared with other devices), and must be constant, non-switched +12v.

Pump # 3043, 3195, 3195KS, 2542KS: Attach a #4-gauge wire from the positive + 12V terminal on the battery to the + terminal on the motor contactor (solenoid). This terminal has a + beside it on the contactor, also there will be a yellow fused wire on this terminal. Pump #s 3043, 3195, 3195KS will work fine with a 100 or 120 amp breaker. Pump # 2542KS should be supplied by a 150 Amp breaker.

All Pumps: Attach a # 4-gauge wire (# 2 gauge if the run is over 12ft.) between the negative -12v terminal on the battery and the ground stud on the pump. This is the preferred method of grounding. The pump motor will “self” ground through its mounting if it is mounted to a frame structure or metal mounting bracket that is welded or bolted securely to the frame. If grounding the pump to the frame or bracket the connection must be sound, free of paint and not susceptible to corrosion. The battery negative (ground) connection to the frame must also be of 4 gauge or larger cable.

Notes on breaker and power cable size: Recommended sizes are based on the maximum running current draw of the unit. On all these units the operational current draw is load dependent. They won’t reach the maximum current draw unless the jacks individually reach maximum load capacity or reach their maximum extension or retraction which the system has the ability to “sense” and only allows for a few to several seconds. Also, this current draw is not continuous in operation.

The recommendation of a circuit breaker and its size is to protect the positive power cable to the pump assembly. The use of a breaker to small will result in nuisance tripping (no operation) of the system. Generally, the use larger gauge

6

wire is preferred to minimize voltage drop during current spikes at start up. Thus, larger gauge wire and breaker size is acceptable. The pump motor and hydraulics are protected from overload internally by hydraulic pressure relief valves.

EQ Smart-Level Control Panel

Fasten the control panel in the desired location (near the driver’s seat, if applicable). The control panel can be

mounted vertically or horizontally. It may be mounted as much 30 degrees from vertical or horizonal. It may

not function well right at 45 degrees. The best most accurate will be right at horizonal (zero degrees) or

vertical (right at 90 degrees. It may be mounted on any surface regardless of its orientation to the front of the

coach. Examples; on the dash, center console, vertical wall, cabinet wall or other firm structure. The control

panel is not waterproof or water resistant therefor it must be in an interior location or compartment

protected from the environment and spill areas. The mounting holes are sized for use of a # 4 or # 6 screw.

The use of a larger screw could damage the control panel and void its warranty. Attach the supplied wire

harness between the Control Panel and the location of the pump assembly. Basically, there are two

connectors one is a 12-pin double row the other is a 3 pin which is the power and ground feed for the control

panel. There may be additional optional connectors that are not used for most installations. There may be

additional wires breaking out of this harness, they are discussed below in chassis interface.

The control panel must be firmly mounted to a surface that ‘reacts’ with the coach during leveling. The Auto

Level function requires this as the leveling sensors are located inside of the control panel. Also, a set up

process known as Orientation Program followed by setting the null (described later) must be performed. If

these steps are not properly completed the Auto Level function will not operate properly. See orientation

setting and null setting for these processes.

Chassis Interface Connections

Please note that Step 1 and 2 are required. Step 3 is optional.

Step 1 - Keypad Ignition Disable Circuit: Note the “break-outs" near the end of the keypad harness. The Pink wire must receive a +12 VDC Input when the ignition key is in the “on” (engine run) position. Connect this wire to an ignition positive source. This will make the wire "hot” and will inhibit jack extension when the vehicle ignition key is in the on (engine run) position. This also provides for a “jacks down” warning in the event of a jack drifting from the stowed position during travel or upon start up if the jacks are deployed. This connection is required. Failure to make this connection may create an unsafe condition and may void the warranty.

Step 2 - The Black w/ Yellow wire must receive a Ground Input. This Black w/ Yellow wire must be connected to a chassis ground. If this wire is not connected to ground the Engage Park Brake light will be on and Auto Level will be Denied.

Step 3 -Optional Park Brake Connection for Black/yellow wire: Contact your chassis manufacturer to verify park brake chassis connection and location. This connection must be done by a technician qualified for chassis electrical systems. Most chassis manufactures are now doing this thru the Dash Module. Attempts to connect this improperly could lead to dash feedback or other issues. This connection to a park brake signal is optional. If this input is not connected to the park brake signal or to ground, AUTO-LEVEL will be continuously denied. Also, the engage park brake light will be on if the panel is powered up or the key is in the on (engine run position).

*Note on items 1 and 2: If Black/Yellow is connected to a park brake signal (as in step 2) and the pink is connected (required) as in Step 1, an automatic “all retract” will be initiated if the key is turned on (engine run

7

position) and the park brake is released.

Purging Uni-Directional Pump #1551, 3218 The jacks are shipped in the fully retracted position. The retraction side of the cylinders is the first to be purged of air. This procedure outlines the steps taken if the jacks need to be purged of air following repairs, etc.

Do Not Manually Overextend Individual Jacks Singularly This May Cause Unwanted Stress on the Coach or the Jacks

Retraction Purge: The retraction side of the cylinders is the first to be purged of air. Fill the reservoir fully with Dexron Transmission fluid. This is the same fluid used in GM vehicles. Begin to purge the retraction side of the system by pushing the UP Button for jacks or by pressing All Retract. The jacks may be run in pairs (front pair & rear pair). You will know when the retraction side of the hydraulic circuit is purged when the fluid level in the reservoir stops and the pump changes sound (bypass mode). Release the keypad button(s). Refill the reservoir to full.

Full Purge: Next, cycle the system by lowering the jacks to the ground manually, using the DOWN buttons on the keypad. Do not allow the jacks to lift the coach. After all jacks are in contact with the ground, press All Retract to retract the jacks. Next run the jacks in pairs (front pair & rear pair) to full extension. Monitor the fluid level and all fittings for leakage. Retract the jacks by pressing All Retract. Recheck the reservoir and fill to full. Note the fluid level in the reservoir is at maximum when all jacks are fully retracted and minimum when jacks are fully extended. This full extension and retraction in pairs should be repeated 3-4 times allowing time between cycles for air to dissipate.

Allowing the air to dissipate through the reservoir and maintaining the reservoir fluid level will get things working faster.

Purging Bi-Rotational Pump #’s 2390, 2532, 2542, 3043, 3195, 3195KS, 2542KS

This procedure must be performed with the initial installation & running of hydraulic system and following installation of the pump assembly and jack(s). This procedure applies only to MH-4 systems that are equipped with the Bi-Rotational pump. All electrical and hose connections must be completed before the purging process. You Must Follow this Procedure Strictly. Any Deviation from the Process will cause the purging process to become difficult and time consuming.

Fill the reservoir with ATF Dexron or multipurpose.

Run the pump to extend the jacks(s) by using the down buttons. Maintain the fluid level in the reservoir between 1/4 and 1/2 full. Do not allow the reservoir to run empty. If jacks(s) will not fully extend, crack loose the upper hose(s) at the jack(s) and run the pump to extend using the down buttons until air is expelled. Use Caution - hydraulic fluid will be under high pressure. Retighten the hoses and complete the extension of the jack(s). Maintain the fluid level as described above.

Run the pump to retract the jack(s) by using the up buttons or all retract. Maintain the fluid level as above. Do not fill the reservoir to full until after the legs are fully retracted.

If fluid in reservoir appears to be aerated (foaming), allow unit to rest until foam dissipates (approx 5-10 minutes).

Fully extend and retract jack(s) a minimum of 3 times. Allowing time between cycles for any foam/air in the reservoir to dissipate as needed. Maintain the fluid level in the reservoir as needed.

Note on purging all pumps: If the fluid in the reservoir is foamy (aerated) allow time to clear. Operating the system when

8

the fluid is foamy(aerated) only moves the aerated fluid to the other side of the hydraulic circuit. The air in the fluid can only dissipate through the reservoir over time, generally a few minites.

EQ Smart-Level Control Panel Programing

After the system is fully installed the control panel must be programed for operation. Failure to do this will result in a failed or improper Auto-Level. There are basically two program settings the orientation setting and the null setting. that must be done in the following order.

Orientation Setting: This process cannot be completed until after the system has been connected to power and the control panel has been mounted and all electrical harness connections have been completed. This process teaches the control panel where the front of the coach is and how the control panel is mounted (vertical or horizonal). If this process in not performed correctly the processor will not know where the front of the coach is. It is possible that without doing this process it may work on a level floor/shop environment however when at sites where the system needs to operate specific legs for leveling it very likely will operate the improper legs. Once this process is properly completed the setting will be “retained” in the control panel and should not ever need to be done again.

With the control panel off press and hold the all retract button then while holding it press the power button, then release both buttons. The power light will start blinking and you will hear a rhythm beeping, also the 4 jacks down indicator lights will be on. Next the orientation is selected by pressing one of the manual control arrows (buttons). The exact specific one is determined by how the panel is mounted (see examples below). You will select one of the up arrows if the panel is mounted vertically and one of the down arrow if it is mounted horizonal. The specific one is the one that most relates to the front of the coach.

Examples: If the panel is mounted vertically in the dash so that you are looking at it when sitting in the driver’s seat and looking forward. You would push the up arrow for the front jacks.

If the panel is mounted horizonal and in a side surface next to the drivers left arm, then you would push the down arrow for the right-side jacks.

If the panel is mounted vertically in a cabinet wall so that when you are looking at it, you are facing the rear of the coach then you would press the up arrow for the rear jacks.

Note: if you are not clear on this process check our web site for video and/or call Equalizer Systems for assistance. There are a total of 8 possibilities depending on how/where the control panel is mounted.

Setting the Null: Null is the term used to indicate the levelness of the coach. With the coach sitting somewhat level on the shop floor and with the panel power off, depress and hold the Auto-Level button and then press and release the power button Do not release the Auto-Level button and listen for a series of beeps. After the keypad has beeped 5 to 6 times, release the Auto-Level button (the keypad will continue to beep as long as the Auto-Level button is held). The new null has been set and the panel will maintain this setting. This process may need to be completed later following an Auto-Level process if the coach is not level.

Note: After properly setting the orientation and the null when auto level is pressed the system is

9

designed operate the jacks to get the coach to the Null setting plus or minus the systems tolerance of .5 degrees which is approx. 7/16 inch over a 4 foot level.

Operation

Auto-Level Operation

Push and release the power button to engage power. The LED light next to the power button should be lit RED when power is on. You will need to have the ignition key in the off position to extend the jacks (most applications). If you attempt to manually extend jacks or all jacks with the Auto-Level button, you will hear a deny tone from the keypad if the ignition key is in the on (engine run) position (most applications). Also depending on if the park brake disable is connected and the park brake is released you may not be able to extend jacks.

Press the Auto-Level button and release. The system will send out a continuous series of beeps and the “Operating” LED will be on to let you know Auto-Level is operation and will automatically level the coach. Do not move around or exit the coach during this operation, doing so will fault out the operation or result in an incomplete leveling/stabilization operation. When completed, the Keypad will signal the successful completion with a dual-stage tone. The Keypad may be left on once level has been achieved. The Keypad will enter “sleep mode” after five minutes of inactivity.

Note: Auto level will be denied if the jack indicator lights are on. To clear this press all, retract then perform auto level.

Setting the Null: Null is the term used to indicate the levelness of the coach. A Null setting should have been performed by the installer. If the coach is not level following an attempt to Auto-Level, you will need to level the coach and reset the null. To set the null, push and release the Power button on the Keypad to engage power. The LED light next to the Power button should be lit RED when the power is on. Level the coach by deploying jacks manually, or by simply parking the coach on a level site. You do not need to have the jacks deployed to set the null. Use a bubble level on a flat surface in the center of the coach as a reference. Once the coach is level, turn the power off at the panel. Depress and hold the Auto-Level button and press and release the Power button and listen for a series of beeps. After the Keypad has beeped 5 to 6 times (the Keypad will continue to beep as long as the Auto-Level button is held) release the Auto-Level button you should get a confirmation beep. The new null has been set and the panel will store/remember this setting. Press and release the All Retract button to retract the jacks to the stowed position.

Use the All Retract button to retract the jacks prior to travel. This system does provide the ability to retract the jacks using the UP buttons for each pair of jacks. However, these buttons are not intended to be used for retracting the jacks to their stowed position prior to travel. The Up arrows are to be used only for retracting the jacks to help level the coach. The All Retract button must be pressed to ensure the system is ready/safe for travel. All jacks should automatically retract and return to stowed position when the ALL RETRACT button is pressed and released. The pump will run in retract for approximately 5 seconds after the last jack has been fully retracted- or until a time limit of 90 seconds has been reached.

*It is always the responsibility of the coach operator to visually confirm that the jacks are fully retracted and safe for travel*

Helpful Hints

• Do not allow motion in the coach during the Auto-Level operation (don’t move around in the coach). This could cause the system to fault out or level/stabilize improperly.

• The Auto-Level is a microprocessor-controlled system. Proper and adequate battery voltage and permanent chassis ground are essential.

• Your system is equipped with override ability. Refer to the procedure for proper use of this. It is usually better to review this procedure prior to its actual use, rather than having to learn a new procedure in difficult environments and or situations. This is designed to get the jacks retracted if there has been a power/control failure.

• If the system has not been used (with the jacks stowed) for over 24 hours, it is recommended that you engage the All Retract button prior to travel in order to re-pressurize the system.

10

• A lubricant, like WD40, may be used to clean and lubricate the cylinder shafts.

Manual Operation Push and release the Power Keypad button to engage power. All lights will come on then most will go out. The LED light next to the Power button should be lit RED when power is on. You will need to have the ignition key switch in the off position to extend the jacks. If you attempt to extend jacks by pressing the Down Keypad buttons or all the jacks with the Auto-Level button, you will hear a “deny” tone from the keypad if the ignition key is in the improper position. Also depending on if the park brake disable is connected and the park brake is released you may not be able to extend jacks. (See step 9 on page 5).

Using the Down Keypad buttons, extend the jacks until they contact the ground (this is referred to as “planting” the jacks). As you extend the jacks, an LED light on the Keypad will indicate the jack(s) is out of the “stowed” position. Jacks may only be operated in pairs using the manual keypad buttons.

Use a bubble level on a flat surface in the center of the coach. Level the vehicle by using the Down or Up Keypad buttons until the vehicle is level. Jacks may be operated only in pairs. Press the power button to turn off the control panel (Keypad).

To retract push and release the Power Keypad button to engage power. Press the all Retract button to retract the jacks prior to travel. This system does provide the ability to retract the jacks using the UP buttons for each pair of jacks. However, these buttons are not intended to be used for retracting the jacks to their stowed position prior to travel. The Up arrows are to be used only for retracting the jacks to help level the coach. The All Retract button must be pressed to ensure the system is ready/safe for travel. All jacks should automatically retract and return to stowed position when the ALL RETRACT button is pressed and released. The pump will run in retract for approximately 5 seconds after the last jack has been fully retracted- or until a time limit of 90 seconds has been reached.

Check/test the following: If you have properly installed the ignition disable circuit, the jacks will not extend if the ignition key is in the on (engine run position). And the ignition on LED should come on. When you turn the key off the LED should go out and allow extension. This is a required connection/step. Failure to properly connect this could create an unsafe condition and may void the warranty.

*It is always the responsibility of the coach operator to visually confirm that the jacks are fully retracted and safe for travel*

Bluetooth Operation

The EQ Smart-Level control panel is equipped with built in Blue Tooth control ability. To use this from your smart phone

download the Blue Tooth App from our web site (direct link) or go to the Google Play store. You are looking for EQ

Smart-Level. From there simply follow the provided instructions. The operation of the system from a smart phone is the

same as from the control panel with the exception that you cannot do the orientation or null programing from the Blue

Tooth.

Note on Blue tooth: Starting in 2020 not all Smart level control panels will have blue tooth through the EQ smart level

App. These units may have Bluetooth through the vehicles multiplex system via a CAN Buss connection. In order to

confirm remove the control panel from it’s mounting and check the EQ # (4 digits followed by letters) on the label. If the

number (4 digits) is followed with BT, then it is as written above under Blue Tooth operation with the EQ Smart Level

App. If the number is followed by a C then it is a CAN Buss unit, contact your vehicle manufacture for info on multiplex

or blue tooth operation if your number is following with a C.

Panel Indicator LED’s

During typical operation, the LED’s on the bottom left hand corner of the keypad should NOT be illuminated. The only LED that should light is the OPERATING LED, which should flash during operation.

POWER LED ON Red when power is ON OFF when power is OFF FLASH every 1 sec. in sleep mode JACK LED ON Red when jack(s) are deployed OFF when jack(s) are stowed OPERATING LED ON Red w/Auto-Level or All Retract OFF when keypad is idle or sleeping LOW VOLTAGE LED ON Red when voltage is below 10.5 VDC OFF when voltage is above 10.5VDC ENGAGE PARK BRAKE LED ON Red when park brake is not set OFF when park brake is set IGNITION ON LED ON Red when ignition is in the ON position OFF when ignition is off EXCESS SLOPE LED ON Red following an Auto-Level attempt, if system cannot overcome slope OFF when slope is not excessive If the LOW VOLTAGE, ENGAGE PARK BRAKE, IGNITION ON or EXCESS SLOPE LED’s illuminate, you have an error condition that must be corrected prior to operating the jacks. It is imperative that the ignition on light operates as described. If not, then a possible unsafe condition may exist. Note: After an auto level process the operation light should turn off and the Excess Slope light should be off. This indicates that the system has finished leveling and is within the .5-degree (approx. 7/16 inch over 4 feet) front to rear and side to side leveling specification. If the Excess Slope light is on, then the system was not able to complete the process within the .5-degree specification. There are several possibilities to include but not limited to Low Voltage, jack(s) running out of travel or system/component failure. If the system finishes its operation and the excessive slope light is not on, then it has completed the process at or inside of it’s .5 degrees tolerance or specification. Note: .5 degrees is approx. 7/16 inch over the length of a 4-foot level.

Manual Override for Pump #s 2390, 2532, 2542, 2015, 2017, 3043, 3195, 3195KS, 2542KS Your hydraulic motor may be equipped with a manual override output shaft. You must use a drill with a 7/16" or ¼” Allen driver (depending on pump motor type).

The drill must be capable of producing a minimum of 2000 r.p.m. for the pump to develop appropriate pressure output.

Your pump assembly may have a hand pump in place of the motor with manual override shaft. If this is the case, you may pump the hand pump in lieu of using the 2000 r.p.m. drill and the 7/16” or ¼”) socket driver.

END VIEW OF MOTOR

Care must be taken to ensure neither the drill nor the socket contact any wires or hydraulic hoses while in use. Note: Pump # 1551 will not have the above hex for the drill. The hand pump may be found on pump #s 1551, 2015, 2017

Manual Override for Uni-Directional Pump #’s 1551, 2017, 2015, 3218 The individual cartridge valves are clustered together on the side of the pump manifold. They are labeled 1 thru 4. Locate the screws on the appropriate cartridge valve(s). Using a small flat blade screwdriver or 1/8” Allen wrench, turn the screw(s) clockwise until seated in. Located Valve DV-2. This will have either an Allen override screw or a red knurled knob. This valve will be on the opposite side of the manifold from the cluster of cartridge valves. If equipped with the Allen screw type, turn the Allen screw in until seated in. If equipped with the red knurled knob, pull the red knob out and turn ¼ turn clockwise. The knob will remain in the ‘out’ position.

13

To retract: locate DV-1. This valve will be on the adjacent side of the manifold to the cluster of cartridge valves. Pull the red knob out and turn ¼ turn clockwise. The knob will remain in the ‘out’ position.

If equipped with override hex on motor: Pump #s 2015, 2017, 3218 Remove the black plastic cap from the end of the motor (Can use a small flat head screwdriver). Place the drill with the 7/16” socket on the manual override shaft located at the end of the motor. Run drill in a clockwise direction at 2000 r.p.m.(minimum). The jack(s) will retract. Following manual override operation, failure to return all valves to normal position may result in one or more jack legs drifting down from their retracted (stowed) position. For cartridge valves, rotate the center screw fully counterclockwise. For directional valves, rotate the red knob until it ‘snaps’ back to the normal position or return the Allen screw to the original “out” counterclockwise position. *Note: The normal operating position of the screw in the cartridge valve(s) is the counterclockwise ‘out’ position. The only time the valve should be shifted manually is when attempting to operate jack(s) via manual override. **Note: The normal operating position of the red knob on the directional valve(s) is the ‘in’ position. The only time the valves should be shifted manually is when attempting to operate jack(s) via manual override.

Manual Override for Bi Rotational Pump #s 2390, 2532, 2542, 3043 and 3195, 3195KS, 2542KS

Your hydraulic pump is equipped with a Bi Rotational motor. You will use a 2000 r.p.m. drill and a 7/16” socket or ¼” Allen Driver. Care must be taken to ensure neither the drill nor the socket contact any wires or hydraulic hoses while in use.

To operate your jack(s) using the manual override (with bi-rotational motor) The individual cartridge valves are clustered together on the side of the pump manifold. They are labeled 1 thru 4. Locate the screws on the appropriate cartridge valve(s). Using a small flat blade screwdriver or 1/8” Allen wrench, (depending on the valve type) turn the screw(s) clockwise until seated in. The pump may or may not have a DV-2 valve on the opposite side of the manifold. If it is the Allen type, turn the screw clockwise until seated in. If it has a red knob, pull out on the knob and turn ¼ turn, it should stay in the out position. There are 3 motor types. Some motors have a black plastic plug in the end of the motor. Remove this plug by prying with a small screwdriver. Some motors have a foil sticker on the end, remove this sticker. Place the drill with the 7/16” socket or ¼” Allen on the manual override shaft located at the end of the motor. To retract your jack(s) run the drill in the counterclockwise direction. To extend your jack(s), run the drill in the clockwise direction. Note: Manual override is intended to get jacks retracted. Use of it for extension is possible as stated but not recommended.

Following manual override operation, failure to return all valves to normal position may result in one or more jacks drifting/traveling down from their retracted (stowed) position. For cartridge valves, rotate the center screw fully counterclockwise.
